This topic is for identification of the various skills that software developers master before those skills become tacit abilities and invisible context of software effort, especially programming.

Skills: The Importance of What We Know and Forgot We Learned It

Computer specialists and programmers, information-technology practitioners, possess considerable tacit knowledge. That’s knowledge that is unspoken and applied automatically without thought. Sometimes we call it muscle memory. It is ready-to-hand, always available, and effortless.

This section of nfoTools documentation is devoted to unconcealing tacit knowledge with respect to ordinary computer-usage skills and a bit more technology understanding required for software developers. Many skills support multiple purposes, just as reading and writing do.

The Skills Inventory

There’s no escaping skill prerequisites. Understanding what they are may be helpful for preparation and development by the curious and patient. Some skils can be practiced and exercised along with learning how to program and advancing to software engineering capabilities.
